It was in very largely in kayfabe storytelling, as opposed to 4th wall breaking, it was good.

I am really digging the world title picture at the moment. Love how everyone is getting a chance to shne both in ring AND on the mic, and delighted Sting finally made his presence known. A Sting/MJF match in the lead up to DoN would be incredible.

I disliked the material and the structure of it.
MJF opened with his usual bit. Fine. Old, but fine. Then it was Darby's turn. He explained his character, he explained MFJ's character, he explained their similarities and differences. It was very staged. Darby crammed in too many points for MJF to properly react. It rang hollow. Then it was MJF's turn again. He took one of Darby's points and explained himself as a counter without giving an explanation. Having the title isn't an explanation for anything Darby suggested, even if it means the world for MJF. I was very unimpressed. A whole lot of telling, not a whole lot of conviction. These longer promo segments would benefit from natural back and forth. Let MJF act a bit, let Darby react a bit, let MJF react a bit and so on and so forth. Here both acted without the proper amount of reaction.
Sting's part was amusing for its absurdism, but odd as part of the preceding promo. It would have fit better as a seperate promo.

I've enjoyed post-Revolution MJF more than any other point during his title reign and if this is where they're going with the character I'm digging it.

MJF was the third best in that segment by design. Sting was amazing and Darby was surprisingly good. Sting promo was 10/10. That's why he's the man. But man it makes me wish I could see a long term feud between him and MJF. Side note, not sure how most feel but I loved Joker sting I liked Joker Sting personally. He gave us the Hostage-Taking Bird.

Sting is a severely underrated promo. That is all.
